Student Leader Seeks Protection For S’African Firms In Nigeria
The Federal Govern
ment has been urged to keep an eye on Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN), DSTV, GoTV and other telecommunication outfits belonging to South Africans as to prevent possible attack by Nigerian youths following the unrest in the southern African country.
The President, Law Students Association of Nigeria (LAWSAN), Rivers State University of Science and Technology Chapter, Comrade Okanezi Endurance, said this in an interview with newsmen lastTuesday in Port Harcourt.
He said the call became imperative due to the level of maltreatment meted out to Nigerians and other nationals in South Africa.
Endurance, argued that the likely hood of attacking the aforementioned telecommunication facilities was high since they are owned by South African operators.
He said another reason for the call was to prevent the country from experiencing network failure since MTN was one of the major network provides in the country.
The LAWSAN president said that urgent moves must be made towards securing the facilities of these firms.
“If Nigerian youth attack MTN and other network service providers from South Africa, the international community may come in, and it is not the best thing for us now” he said.
He regretted that Nigerians could be treated in such hostile manner by fellow Africans saying that such should not have happened following the level of diplomatic under- standing between the two countries.
The lawyer in making, also called on the international community, to clamp down on the Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelitehini, the alleged main factor of the crisis and bring him to book.
Earlier, he had called on MTN operators not to harbour any form of fear as their operations are protected in the country.
